The sea crossing bridge weighs millions of tons. Is the steel wire rope used unbreakable?

With the development and change of human science and technology, more and more inventions have been invented to improve our living standards. In the past, the exchanges between countries depended on sea transportation. Sometimes extreme weather would affect shipping. So the cross sea bridge came into being. How much do you know about the cold knowledge of the cross sea bridge?

The biggest feature of the cross sea bridge is the steel wire rope connecting the bridge and the bridge body, which shares the weight of the bridge body and ensures the stability of the bridge. But as we all know, the steel wire rope also has a certain service life, which will inevitably be damaged under the erosion of the sea wind, and the sea crossing bridges weigh up to a million tons. Are these steel wire ropes not afraid of breaking? In case of wire rope breakage or breakage, what should we do then?

In fact, the designers of the sea crossing bridge have expected this for a long time, so the steel wire ropes used are all specially treated, which should be more excellent in corrosion resistance and durability. In addition, in daily use, there will be regular and regular inspection and maintenance by the staff, timely maintenance and replacement, which will not be afraid of fracture under the dual guarantee.
